Westside Gunn (@WESTSIDEGUNN) - "HEELS HAVE EYES" EP

Since launching his wrestling promoting business late last year, Westside Gunn has been releasing music to accompany it. Westside Gunn is back already and with a tape he recorded in just 24 hours called HEELS HAVE EYES. The title of it ties into his wrestling ventures and the ongoing series of cards of the same name. The fourth event is called "4 THE CULTURE" that was on April 18 in Las Vegas. Presumably, the goal for this EP was to get it done in time for the performances that are a part of the event. Flatbush Zombies and Joey Bada$$ are two of the acts that will be grabbing the mic. However, we are unsure if Gunn is going to hit the stage as well. Regardless, getting any tape big or small done in such a short time is impressive. It just speaks to the Buffalo's blue-collar work ethic and the passion he has for music and this company that's just several months old. Westside Gunn doesn't get enough credit for being a major influence on hip-hop overall. We always look to the more mainstream names like Drake and Kanye West. But the Griselda multi-hyphenate has been bringing forward-thinking ideas to the genre that not one is really doing. The way he's been able to combine the wrestling culture with art and music is going to be recognized in the future as something so ahead of its time. As for the project, HEELS HAVE EYES is a breezy, five-track, 10-minute listen with familiar, sample-heavy beats and tons of bravado. There are zero features and production credits from the likes of Harry Fraud, Gunn, Cee Gee, and more. - via HotNewHipHop
